Re: Information Available to Public for February 15, 2005 Public Hearing on FY2006 Budget
The attached information is available at the City Clerk's Office, Finance Department and Iowa City Library for the FY2006
Budget Public Hearing scheduled for February 15, 2005.
The proposed property tax rate, Iowa City portion, is $17.72920 for FY2006 compared to $17. 31394 in FY 2005 an increase
of $0.41526. A residential property with an assessed value of $100,000 is proposed to pay $850.37 in city taxes in FY06,
compared to $838.96 in the current year, FY05. (City taxes are about 46.76% of the current year tax bill, the remainder goes
to schools, county, assessor and the state.) Changes between the FY06 city proposed tax rate and FY05 city tax rate are as
follows:
· The proposed Employee Benefit levy increases $0.26 cents, which is a 7.54% change primarily due to continued
increases in health insurance rates and the police / fire pension rate. The police / fire pension increased again in FY06
from 24.92% to 28.21% of wages. Ipers has proposed an increase of one percent, which is not included within this
budget proposal since it has not been approved by the legislature as of this date.
· The debt service levy increases by approximately $0.20 cents. The FY05 debt service levy was reduced due to a one-
time receipt of $500,000 in donations from the library foundation to abate debt service on the library expansion. The
$500,000 abatement equated to savings of $0.24 in the debt service levy for FY05. City Council policy is that debt
service shall not be more than 25% of the city tax rate. The FY06 debt levy is 23.4% of the proposed FY06 city levy
rate.
· The tort levy decreases by $0.04 cents ($0.35 to $0.31) based on estimated property insurance premiums and claims.
The General Fund as proposed includes 419.36 full time equivalent (FTE) employees in FY06 compared to 416.61 FTE in
the original FY05 budget and 425.98 positions in the FY04 budget. Reductions in general fund staffing occurred in FY04
subsequent to the FY04 budget adoption due to the loss of state shared revenues. Various fees and charges for services were
increased in F¥04 and are projected at that level for FY06.
FY2006 proposed revenues for govemmental and business type activities total $158.1 million compared to $161.9 million in
FY05 and $159.8 million in FY04, line 14 of the public hearing notice.
FY2006 proposed expenditures and transfers out for both governmental and business type activities total $162.8 million
compared to $172.7 million in FY2005 and $152.7 million in FY2004, line 27 of the public hearing notice. FY2005 is higher
than FY2006 due to capital improvement projects in process (line 22) and $4 million for Plaza Towers TIF in Economic
Development (line 19).
The June 30 ending fund balance projected for FY2006 is $93.9 million compared to $98 million estimated for FY2005 and
$108.8 million actual for FY2004, line 31 of the public hearing notice. Of the $93.3 million FY06 ending estimated balance,
$15.6 million is for general fund, $5 million is in bond proceeds and grant funds for capital projects, $30.1 million is
restricted for debt service. The remaining $42.6 million fund balances are for business type funds, escrows and restricted
donations.
Please contact Kevin O'Malley, Finance Director at 356-5053 or myself at 356-5051 if we can be of assistance.

Subject: Iowa Arts Festival Funding
As a board member and Secretary of the Iowa Arts Festival I am writing
to request funding for the 2005 Festival to be held June 3, 4, and 5. It
is vital that we receive support at the level we have in the past in
order to maintain the quality we have been able to provide in the past.
This year the Festival has seen a dramatic decrease in funding and as a
result we have had to cut our full time staff member. The festival is
now being organized by volunteers.
The Iowa Arts Festival brings thousands of people to downtown Iowa City
to celebrate on the streets. It is part of our community - It is part of
who we are. The people have voiced their support through their
attendance. Please consider this when determining the distribution of
funds for this year's event.
Thank you for your consideration,

P.O. BOX 1765
IOWA CITY, IA 52244
February 15, 2005
City of Iowa City City Council
410 E. Washington Street
Iowa City, IA 52240
Dear Esteemed Council Members:
The Greater Iowa City Apartment Association (GICAA) is an advocate for the rights of
tenants, landlords, and property management professionals in the greater Iowa City area. We
represent the thousands of tenants that live and work in this area, and the hundreds of
landlords that provide them a safe place to live.
On December 30, 2004, our Association received correspondence from the Iowa City Rental
Housing Division conveying their intent to ask the City Council to approve a Fiscal Year
2006 Budget that would include an increase in rental housing inspection fees. Per the
correspondence, the plan was stated as follows:
"Currently the rental permit fee schedule is $110. O0 per structure,
$15. O0 per unit and $5. O0 per bedroom. The rental housing inspection
proposal is to increase the per unit rental fee from $15.00 to $f7.00 and
the per bedroom fee from $5.00 to $6.00. Currently the yearly rental
permit fee for a twelve-unit, 24-bedroom building, is $205. O0 per year.
Under the new fee structure, this building's permit fees would increase to
$229.00 annually, an 11.7% fee increase generating approximately
$24,000. O0 in additional revenue.
Fees for a typical three bedroom single-family structure would
increase from $46.66 per year to $48.33, a 3.5% annual fee increase
generating approximately $6, 000. O0 in additional revenue. The overall
increase in rental permit fees would generate an additional $30,000. O0
per year in revenue."
This overall $30,000.00 increase in revenues from increased rental permit fees works out [o
an overall 9.68% increase in total yearly revenue. That is nearly a 10% increase in annual
permit costs that will be passed on to every rental property owner and every condominium
association xvith rental units in their makeup in Io~va City.
The explanation given to our Association by the Rental Housing Division for tiffs
"necessary" increase was that an increased rental housing market has increased the number
of inspected rental units to 16,000. This has all happened during a period in which the
Housing Division staff has not been added to. While, our Association acknowledges the
potential need for additional staff to keep up with the increase in inspected rental units, we
feel that tkis potential need does not necessitate an increase in fees.
- 2 - February 15, 2005
In 2002, the Rental Housing Division increased fees by adjusting the way they charged
buildings. This change, from a "set charge per unit" to a "per building/per unit/per
bedroom" charge, resulted in permit cost increases as high as 40-50% for some multi-
building rental properties and condominium associations. At the same time that this
increase was put into effect, the Housing Division also instituted cost-saving measures that
were meant to decrease the amount of time inspectors had to spend at each property
inspection. The increase in fees at that time have helped increase the total permit fees
revenues for the Division from $149,141.00 in fiscal year 2002 to an estimated $309,337.00
for fiscal year 2005. That is an over 100% increase in revenues in only a 4 year period.
Where have these revenues gone?
As stated in the correspondence from the Rental Housing Division, there has not been an
increase in staff during this period, so these revenues have not been going to pay new
employee salaries. Additionally, we believe that it is policy that Rental Housing Division
employees still do not work on weekends or holidays (revenue documents shoxv only $130.00
in overtime wages paid in fiscal year 2004), so revenues do not appear to have been spent on
additional overtime hours or holiday pay. Add to this, the fact that the actual number of
inspected units at multi-unit bnildmgs (greater than 4) and condominium associations has
actually decreased dufmg this period, due to self-inspection checklists and random unit
inspections based on prior good behavior, and we as an Association must ask why' the Rental
Housing Division needs to raise more revenue through a fee increase?
In prior correspondence with our Association, members of this Council have stated:
· "I believe the department's (Housing and Inspection Services) most important role is
insu£mg the safety of existing housing structures and those in the planning and
construction phase. I believe the council must hold the city manager accountable for
assuring city inspectors are knowledgeable and their procedures are reasonable,
consistent, and cost-effective."
· "I look forward to some policy changes that will decrease the frequency of inspections
on new properties (after initial occupancy inspection) and on properties that consistently
have outstanding inspection reviews. I like the self inspection, by the property manager,
and certification of a standard check list with the City Inspector doing occasional spot
checks."
Both of these statements imply a dedication by Council Members to ensure that the
Department of Housing and Inspection Services works toward reducing costs and
implementing measures that would free up employee hours for other tasks. We feel that in
the past 4 years, not enough has been done by the Department of Housing and Inspection
Services, or by the City Council and City Manager, to make sure these goals have been met.
Also, the Association knows from previous correspondence, on property tax rollback issues
brought up in 2003, that at least some Council Members recognize that any increases in costs
that are assessed to rental home owners are passed on to tenants, many of whom are fLxed
income tenants and limited income student renters that can least afford to take on additional
rent costs due to increased City frees and fees.
- 3 - February 15, 2005
We are asking that the City Council deny the request by the Rental Housing Division to
increase fees for the 2006 Fiscal Year Budget. Instead, the City Council and City Manager
should require the Rental Housing Division to reassess options to decrease overall costs for
the Division. Some of the options that should be included in the reassessment are the
follmving:
· Duplexes which are made up of both an owner-occupied unit and a rental unit
should only be inspected on a complaint basis. Rental permit fees could remain the
same, but since owner-occupied oversight exists on the property there is decreased
safety risk, so this option would remain safety risk neutral and revenue neutral wtfile
increasing available time for Inspectors to do other work.
· Condominium Associations which have buildings that are more than 75% owner
occupied should be inspected on a 5-year basis. Once again, there is resident
ownership oversight and Association oversight on safety issues, so the safety risk
basis is significantly lower than other rental units. The Associations can continue to
renew their rental structure permits on a bi-annual basis; so once again, you establish
a revenue neutral situation that frees up Inspector work hours without increasing
safety or structural integrity concerns.
· Allow landlords who have had two rental inspections without a major health and
safety violation to skip their next scheduled inspection, and if further scheduled
inspections remain clear of major violations, all future inspections ~vill continue on a
staggered basis. Rental permit fees can continue to be assessed and paid on the
regular schedule, while only actual inspection time is decreased. Once again, a
revenue neutral option decreases Inspector hours, while also showing respect and
trust in the landlords and property managers ~vho continually and habitually maintain
safe and affordable rental homes in Iowa City.
These are only some of the possible scenarios that would decrease overall labor hours
without increasing safety and health risks, and without decreasing the revenue stream from
Rental Permits. We sincerely hope that this City Council xvill den), the proposal from the
Rental Housing Division for an increase in Rental Permit Fees, and ~vork towards finding a
solution, which will result in a Rental Housing Division that is "reasonable, consistent, and
cost-effective".
